Thank you!!!

Posted on 2012/01/05 by

 Thank you all so much for your patience during the transition for this blog of mine. The re-construction should be complete this month with some truly entertaining add on/side bar stuff as well as up to date plug-ins. The blog and the basis for it have progressed like I could not have imagined. It has truly taken on a life of its own, and you all are the reason for that. Please remember though, I receive many more comments than I could ever post, and my “real job” often prevents me from reading all of them at this point. I have posted a few from folks I know as a test run and I am getting used to the new software. I hope to able to post more soon so please keep them coming and check the archives for those I simply can’t get to.

Once again, thank you for all of your letters of encouragement and support, as well as the critique and criticism. It all works like a massive dose of caffeine when I’m feeling “politically tired”… 🙂  Onward in 2012…

God bless,,,

Blind side…

Same old Liberal song and dance...

Isn’t it ironic, while our diplomats jockey to establish ties with the “terrorist” Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and seem to grovel for a seat at the (Taliban table of peace), all while our Soldiers are fighting and dying in theater, our President is laser focused on slashing our military in order to make it “leaner”, (code for weaker). I say ironic, as I do not wish to suggest panic at this point. But the fact is, as the so called “Arab” Spring clearly appears to be morphing into an “Islamofascist” Summer, our leaders continue to ignore the root causes of our financial woes here at home while simultaneously cutting the very means necessary to safeguard our children’s national security against these threats.

Meanwhile, the “recess” appointments and regulatory nightmares I wrote about just last week are all coming to fruition as predicted, and have actually been fast tracked by an Administration bent on turning as much Socialist university pabulum into reality as is humanly possible before what could very well be a landslide loss of the WH come this November.

Sadly but as I surmised, 2012 will likely add much to the history books. However it doesn’t seem as though it will be anything good…

“Come on man”..!

Posted on 2012/01/03 by

Really?

It should come as no surprise that our eight year olds are being indoctrinated as opposed to educated within the public school system today. The topics more closely resemble brawls I had with some of my professors of “higher” Ed back in the day. Fact is, the extraordinary influence of the (Teachers Unions) is undeniable and has been chronicled across the country over the last decade or so. I am personally compelled to monitor my son’s education in ways I frankly would not have imagined were necessary just a generation ago. As a result I struggle every day with the cost of private schooling as an alternative, but remain on the sidelines as my boy has grown attached to friends and location.

Anyway, it still irks me when I hear some disingenuous bureaucrat spouting off about this controversy surrounding a song, allegedly written and performed by some little ones about the “occupy protests”. Now I may be a bit out of touch, but the topic of class warfare as it is being argued in the arena of partisan politics, is hardly an issue for 3rd or 4th graders. (http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/school-defends-occupy-song-for-8-year-olds.html) My little guy is nine and smart as a whip to be sure, and I can tell you that while he is definitely attune to his daddies political leanings, the NE Patriots, “Call of Duty” and someone named Gabrielle are the real focus of his day.

So I think my message to Virginia School District Representative Phil Giaramita with regard to “Part of 99” as sung by the Woodbrook Elementary 3rd Graders, and his assertion this was exclusively the efforts and ideas of these little “crumb crunchers” is —- “Come on man”!!!!

Back to the NFL Network…

End-around…

Posted on 2012/01/02 by

Barack Obama is obviously a President who will use the power of the office in the most technical of ways to benefit politically. His minions have already made no secret of the fact his campaign will be an exercise in gutter politics as he targets a Congress with very low approval ratings. But while the POTUS attempts to deflect blame for a nation in crisis, by emphasizing Congressional negatives to an electorate that only dislikes the Senators and Congressmen from “other districts/states”, I will be watching the behind the scenes tactics of this ideological politician as he contemplates recess, or what are known as “adjournment appointments” of those most radical of his cabinet submissions who could not initially generate an up or down vote on Capitol Hill.

It’s always dangerous when a President has failed the leadership test in every way and then attempts the end around game to accomplish that which he could not have otherwise. The implications of these “appointments”, while temporary in nature “if” a new President is subsequently elected, and the damage which could occur in the interim, could be catastrophic. Federal agency policy and application related to everything from the EPA to the newest and ultra-controversial “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” could be affected in dramatic and consequential ways to “We the People”.

These types of maneuvers have taken place on the watches of past Presidents to be sure, but as I have written, these are extraordinary times. What we allow to go unchecked in 2012 is sure to haunt us far beyond…
